Lucas C. Wagner, of Spindletop Software Dynamics, Inc. says:

The GNU jobs page represents, to me, one of the
easiest and most effective ways to post jobs that require the
knowledge and expertise of the free software community at large.
Applicants are often extremely experienced, talented individuals who
are donating their time both "on the clock" and "after hours"
improving or extending the GNU software or other free software
projects that their employers depend on. Additionally, applicants
are often more than willing to help their employers connect (or
remain connected) to the free software community so that further
contributions to enterprise-critical projects can be gained from a
network of thousands of people, from independent programmers to
other employers just like you. It is for this reason that I highly
recommend the GNU jobs page to employers serious about their
commitment to using and/or building upon free and/or GNU
software.
